Update On Me :)

If your job is anything like my surgeon's bariatric coordinator then you are going to be ONE BUSY LADY!!!    Sad for us, because you will prob. just not have the time to keep up with us but you will be doing such important work and helping so many, many people that it is important for us to let go of you and share you. 

Great news on the ps consult....how amazing to think of getting that much skin removed.  Seems unfair of an insurance company to require six months of suffering with a skin rash before they'll kick in on the panni.  "Sorry ma'am, you haven't suffered LONG ENOUGH."  grrrrrr.....

Any chance that you could buy a house closer to your new job or is that totally not an option?  I know you and DH have done such extensive work to your home now and it would be hard to leave it but with gas prices the way they are plus winter roads...  ??

Well, hugs and big congrats to you!  I am so proud of you and the people you'll be serving in your new job are so very lucky to be getting your help.  Now you will be paying it forward even more than you already have!  Nothing but good karma for you, dear one.

Hi Molly!

Wow this really touched my heart and brought a tear to my eye.  Thank so much for all your kind words! I hope I can be as great as they want me to be etc.. you know it goes, you wonder. .. Did I do the right thing? I am sure I did.  I said I woiuld let my heart and God direct me on this one. 

I will try to be around as much as I can but I am sure the job will have me very busy, there is LOTS to do.  They want to be a Center of Excellence so that will be one challange along with contructing this thing from the ground up.  Wow do I have my hands full I am sure.  I also deal with all the insurance companies etc.  I am leaving a pretty "cush" job to take on this one.. but I am ready for the challenge.. hope we can fid kids in somewhere!

Yes the plastic surgery thing is a total joke.. you would think we have jumped through enough hoops already with our RNY.  Ya know? Crazy.

We talked about buying a house closer but my husband's job is in Minnesota.  We live on the IA border 4 miles from MN.  I work 30 mins south into Iowa.  So really we are in the perfect spot.  If he ever quits his job then may reconsider but for now, it will be me driving with the weather elements etc. fun times eh?  At least on the unit I was on if i got stuck I had a place to crash, dont think I will have this in a doctors office.  I will be in a clinic now.

I am already freaking out about when will I exercise? If I get up at 530am-600am and have to be there around 730am?  I don't get off work till 5pm-6pm.. Id have to work out after that but then I wouldnt get home until 9pm... ACK.. not sure how that is gonna work.  But I am paying for a gym membership so I gotta figure it out!  Now I see how you day people struggle lol..

Well thanks again Molly.. I am gonna try to not disappear as much as possible... really.

Hugs,
Melissa
